[directory-discuss] Keyglove suitable for FSD?

[David Seaward]

Hello all,

Keyglove is a free software + open hardware project (including
patent-free) aiming to create a dataglove input device. The device
itself runs on the open hardware Arduino microcontroller. [1]

Is the Keyglove software suitable for inclusion in the FSD? Some of
the code in the repo is for the device itself, running on Arduino [2],
other code is for helper apps and testing programs (running on the PC
but not integral to using the device) and there's an application "for
working with a raw HID device" (runs on PC). The last sounds like may
display raw output. Note that all the code is in one source tree.

Do any of these sound like potential candidates for the FSD? (I have
been in contact with the author. I can always email back for more
details.) Or should I wait for a clear-cut end-user application (say,
a dataglove equivalent to jstest-gtk [3])?

[2] To the best of my understanding, Arduino is a free but non-GNU
platform / operating system. The non-GNUness means software written to
run on an Arduino device but not on GNU/Linux (or some other GNU) is
not a candidate for inclusion?
